After the vindication of otaku in 'Densha Otoko (電車男)', watch out for the next wave of vindication for fujoshi (BL fangirls)

Otaku are a formidable group of consumers, and as such, however they were much despised according to mainstream values, they are bound to come under a flattering light sooner or later. Of course I now predict the same fate for fujoshi (腐女子).

And now it is confirmed in the news: A novel called Fujoshi Kanojo 腐女子彼女 ('My BL-fangirl girlfriend') has become a hit in Japan.

I understand that the novel was originally a blog, and the gist of the plot is that a college student is in love with a pretty girl two years his senior, who just happens to be a BL fangirl. Apparently it's a hilarious work too.

Well, what else can I say - now that the book is out, wait for the video?
